📢 GST Due Date Reminder – 13th September 2025

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime in India has brought a structured and transparent compliance system that benefits both taxpayers and the government. However, timely filing of returns is the key to staying compliant and avoiding unnecessary penalties or disruptions in business operations.

As we step into the second week of September 2025, businesses and professionals need to be mindful of the upcoming GST return filing deadlines. One of the most important compliance dates this month is 13th September 2025, which includes the filing of GSTR-5 and GSTR-6 for August 2025.

In this article, let us break down what these returns mean, who should file them, and why timely compliance matters.

🔹 GSTR-5 for August 2025

Who should file?
GSTR-5 is specifically designed for Non-Resident Taxable Persons (NRTPs). These are individuals or businesses located outside India but engaged in supplying taxable goods or services within India. Since such businesses do not have a permanent establishment in India, they must comply with special GST provisions, and GSTR-5 is a key part of that compliance.

What does it contain?
The return includes:

  • Details of outward supplies made to Indian customers.

  • Tax payable on such supplies.

  • Adjustments of input tax credit (if applicable).

  • Any refunds or advances claimed.

Why is it important?
Filing GSTR-5 ensures that the government has complete visibility into the transactions carried out by foreign entities in India. It helps in preventing revenue leakages and strengthens the accountability of international businesses operating within Indian borders.

For NRTPs, non-compliance can lead not only to penalties and late fees but also to restrictions on future operations in India.

🔹 GSTR-6 for August 2025

Who should file?
GSTR-6 is meant for Input Service Distributors (ISDs). ISDs are businesses that receive invoices for input services and need to distribute the input tax credit (ITC) to their various branches or units registered under the same PAN.

For example, a head office in Chennai that receives invoices for services like auditing, consultancy, or software subscriptions and wants to distribute the ITC to its branches in Bengaluru or Delhi would need to file GSTR-6.

What does it contain?
The return includes:

  • Details of all inward supplies received by the ISD.

  • The ITC to be distributed among different GSTINs under the same organization.

  • Any corrections or mismatches in earlier filings.

Why is it important?
Filing GSTR-6 ensures a seamless flow of Input Tax Credit within an organization. This prevents loss of credit, avoids disputes during audits, and maintains accurate records. Timely filing is essential because any mismatch in ITC distribution could affect the cash flow and compliance rating of the business.

⚠️ Why Timely Filing on 13th September Matters

Missing the GST due date can have serious implications:

  1. Late Fees & Penalties

    • ₹50 per day of delay (₹25 CGST + ₹25 SGST).

    • ₹100 per day if it involves nil returns.
      These penalties can add up significantly if the delay is prolonged.

  2. Interest Liability
    Non-payment of GST on time attracts an interest rate of 18% per annum on the outstanding amount. This increases the financial burden on businesses.

  3. Restricted Compliance Rating
    GST compliance ratings are monitored by the authorities. Frequent delays in filing returns can lower your compliance score, potentially affecting your reputation with vendors, customers, and banks.

  4. Loss of Input Tax Credit (ITC)
    If GSTR-6 is not filed, businesses may not be able to claim or distribute ITC properly. This could directly impact working capital and increase operational costs.

  5. Legal Consequences
    In extreme cases, consistent non-compliance can result in notices from the GST department, audits, or even cancellation of GST registration.
